The Christmas spirit was alive and well in El Dorado on Saturday, particularly at Mattocks Park where a toy drive in the gymnasium and a food and clothing giveaway outdoors drew crowds.
The El Dorado Historic District is preparing its 2024 Certified Local Government grant application and has agreed include several projects in its proposal for the upcoming year.
The Fall Breeze Pop-Up Shop, the latest in a series of family-friendly events organized by Janice Hicks, took place Saturday, Nov. 4, at Mattocks Park. Community members came throughout the day to check out the many vendors and food trucks and the live music, including a performance by the Boomer Hill Band. Other attractions included kids activities, a job fair inside the gymnasium at the park and the Arkansas Minority Health bus.
